My post asked not the purpose of posting, but the publisher’s purpose.

if bozo;’s wife really got serious with her fake weight loss and get fit then she would be asking to stop junk food on food stamps.

Only fruit and veggies for food stamps and AI guarantee these spandex wearing lard asses will soon get fed up of having to buy their own junk food , course they should aslo do community work like the left wants.

We have a family who moved down here form NY, they are the biggest waste of air I have ever seen.

He calls the cops on neighbors because he thinks he is black and married to a white woman living in the south, heaven forbid you actually look at them in their shabby rented house as you go past because you will get him calling the cops.
They never work, got their pit bull, kids have free breakfast and lunch, scamming the local church saying their poor so they get food and money each week and then he goes off every now and again doing side jobs for cash.

Biggest scumbags ever and to think they ended up in my neighborhood, the first house you past as you come in too,

Hi, Gabz-I agree, but since many people are not smart enough to know that, leaving EVERYONE alone, and letting everyone be responsible for their own lifestyle/habits makes sense to me...

My Doc who I know very well told me that homosexual men carry and get so many diseases and it was unhealthy for them to have their kind of feces sex but Docs cannot state this in public because of threats to lawsuits and media.

Instead Docs have to treat these homosexuals on a regular basis .

And honestly, when one of the biggest health concerns we have for poor people is them getting to fat, we are among the wealthiest in all of history.

It has nothing to do with wealth - at least not theirs. It's our/my wealth that they pig out on.

funny you mention that because it might be different where you are but here the so called soccer moms wouldn’t get bent out of shape as you described , infact most parents I know have no problem with what you said.

Course I have kids and talk every day to parents so do you have kids too and are the parents different where you live then?

Obviously, 0bama is fattening. Consume nothing 0bama.

I’ll bet if those EBT cards could only be used for fresh produce, meat, rice you have to cook from scratch, etc, not only would more people be healthy and save money on food, but the cards wouldn’t be as attractive because of their limitations, and eventually not many people would “need” them...

Eligibility for SNAP should also include at least one basic home-ec and cooking class. When I applied for food stamps and suggested that, the case worker laughed at me and wanted to know exactly who would "teach" it. I suggested people like me who knew how to shop and cook and get the most bang for the buck could fulfill the class requirement by teaching it. She realized I was serious and explained why such couldn't be done. Practically verbatim the argument used against drug testing of those receiving various welfare benefits. (she also agreed with me, but couldn't say such a thing)

Good post. Thanks.

Hey T5 - works for me!!!!

[redgolum]

You can get fat eating McDonald every day for less than $10.

We are so rich as a civilization that the poor are fat. The biggest health threat to the poor is obesity in this country.

That is unprecedented.

I’d feel better about it if the source wasn’t one of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s tentacles.

For starters....SAY NO TO GMO’S and Monsanto!!!!

This is the reason for the article, is HERE; not the first sentence: “While stable rates of adult obesity may signal prevention efforts are starting to yield some results, the rates remain extremely high,” said Jeffrey Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH. “Even if the nation holds steady at the current rates, Baby Boomers—who are aging into obesity-related illnesses—and the rapidly rising numbers of extremely obese Americans are already translating into a cost crisis for the healthcare system and Medicare.”

That agenda is very transparent, and is core to the reason for the article; the reason for posting it is a whole 'nother thing.

It's hard to find time to exercise as I'm so busy working to support the Welfare State.

somehow I doubt that's grapefruit in there.
